[Moodle] Images in profiles and changing max upload limits

[Murray O.]

Gentlemen
Hope the following helps
Image problem
Have you tried to changing the slasharguments setting to
file.php?file=/pic.jpg 


Upload problem
Need to change 2 settings in php.ini
post_max_size and upload_max_filesize
these values can be checked by running the phpinfo() function

Same problem here Michael- would also like to know how to fix this problem
up.  In the end I deleted the user account and started it again- there must
be an easier way.
